Chapter 68: Unforeseen Insight

We decided to take Jean's request.

「Well, let's introduce ourselves again! My name is Jean Dovey, the one who faced the darkness, looked into the abyss of wisdom and is the overlord of the immortal!」

Well, while he is a necromancer, is he also a researcher? It somehow feels as if I'm getting used to Jean's actions. Unfortunately.

「I am Fran. Black cat family. I like curry and pancakes. This is Urushi.」??

「Ou!」(Urushi)

「I'm seeing it for the first time but it seems it'd make a good companion if it was undead.」

「Oun!」

「No good.」

「Hahahahaha.」

『It's not a lie nor a joke that I am an intelligent weapon. The name Fran gave me is Teacher.』

「Ho, your name is Teacher?」 Ah! Is it impossible for him to read the mood? ??「It's an eccentric name, it is! It's good, I love it!」

It was a funny one.???

「Nn.」(Fran)??

The two people shook hands. However, I will negotiate so that the reward for the request will be changed slightly.

「Fewer rewards,」(Fran)

「Why?」(Jean)??

『Instead, we want the magic stones.』

「Magic stone? Is that a good enough payment?」

『Yes?』

「Well, well, what are you going to use it for?」??

『Well... ...』As expected, he asked.

「Hmm... ... I see, I see.」??Jean brings his face closer to me. Being watched feels terrible!

『What? What is it?』

「The magic stone's value......」??

『!』

「Maybe you can convert the magic stone into an energy of some sort?」??

「What do you know?」(Fran)

「Guru」(Urushi.)??

「Kuku, with my Soul Eyes secrets are meaningless. You want a magic stone so you have some use for it. It's a mystery but there can only be one answer!」

Wow, what vain thinking! It's completely perfect! In the first place, can he use such an appraising skill?

「You look frustrated, did I hit the mark?」

『So?』

「Fahahaha, it was a joke, but it seems to be the right answer!」

It's over! I've been caught by his trap perfectly.??

「As the name implies, it's a demon that mimics a wall and attacks those who approach. Well, it's not that strong so it won't be a problem if you don't notice the surprise attack.」

『What kind of skills does it possess?』

「It has mimicry skills as the name suggests. Its other interesting skill is appraisal disturbance.」

Appraisal disturbance seems to be a skill that doesn't allow one to be appraised accurately. Unlike appraisal blocking, it only weakens it. If the level goes up, lower leveled appraisals can be invalidated.

『Will we have our appraisal cut off?』

「A skill with good appraisal disturbance?」

「No, it's different! It's preemptive to this point!」

『Hey. Well then why did you talk?』

「Because I wanted to talk!」

「... ...」(Fran)

「Ku.」(Urushi)

『Oh, I see.』

「It's still a story that doesn't not matter.」

Sometimes among memetic spirits there seems to be a mixture of evil spirits, like a supernatural species, a spoofed spirit. (So sometimes there's a fake spirit that acts like a mimicry spirit) Since it is threat level D, it seems to be quite strong. But because it's difficult to distinguish from a real mimicry spirit, it seems weird to put them in a different group.

「And this disguising spirit is the beast I recommend for you!」

「Why?」(Fran)

「Well, as the name implies, it possesses a unique skill for camouflaging, which doesn't simply preventing appraisals, but allows you to show false information at a whim.」

『So it could purposely make someone come to a false conclusion?』

「Oh, that's the most fearsome part of the skill, it's far more troubling than just blocking.」

Appraisal blocking is a skill that prevents opponents from finding out information about you. In other words, the only appraisal result the opponent gets would be whatever wasn't blocked. The information that could not be obtained remains.

But what about camouflage? By releasing fake information, the possibility that the appraisal was prevented seems low, and if one believes the information they got, it will be easier to surprise them. In other words, you will be able to stay ahead in the war of information.

「And it's possible to combine it with appraisal blocking. After you block a little information and let the false information slip, the false information seems that much more believable! I think it's a very terrible combination.」(Jean)

「In addition, appraisal camouflage is a unique skill so it will also be effective against most magic eyes. Most of the skills in the demon eye system can be prevented with this!」

「I want it.」(Fran)

『Oh, I absolutely want it.』

「Ou!」(Urushi)

「Fahahahaha, leave it to me. In the last exploration I already found where a mimetic spirit is!」

「Oh great.」(Fran)

『Truly someone we can rely on.』

「Ou Ou Ou!」(Urushi)

「Hahahaha! Don't be afraid to speak the truth, don't be shy!」

No seriously, I wasn't expecting that. Also, Jean might be a little cool. It looks like he's seriously shining. You may not be accustomed to being praised by people, but lift yourself by yourself.

『Ah! Too bright!』

「Oh!」(Fran)

「Ooo」(Urushi)

「Fahahahahaha!」
